This is according to Tshwane speaker Katlego Mathebe who resumed her duties on Tuesday following an intense legal battle that was borne out of the Gauteng executive council’s decision to dissolve the municipal council in March.
The decision saw Tshwane remain politically leaderless for most of the year. The provincial government appointed administrators to run the capital city while a legal battle with the DA ensued.
Mathebe, along with the rest of the council, will return to duty and receive backdated pay following a judgement handed down by the Supreme Court of Appeal.
The appellate court dismissed the province’s appeal which sought to delay the enforcement of a high court ruling which reversed the decision to dissolve the council.
